In today’s competitive job market, the role of HR in talent acquisition has evolved from simply filling vacancies to strategically building an organisation’s most valuable asset—its people.

The real cost of recruitment extends beyond fees.

Let’s be honest—most companies love to talk about diversity and inclusion, but when it comes to doing something about it, the action can fall flat. We see glossy mission statements and stock images of smiling teams, but real inclusion? That takes more than good intentions

In today’s job market, HR teams are under increasing pressure to deliver more with fewer resources and in less time. Finding the right candidates has become more complex, more competitive and, let’s be honest, more expensive. Add in the growing need for diversity, transparency and ethical hiring practices, and it’s no surprise that many recruitment teams are rethinking how they approach hiring.

At Kaplunk, we believe that ethical hiring is not just a moral obligation—it’s a strategic advantage. As an ethical employment board designed exclusively for company HR teams and applicants, we stand firmly against recruitment agencies and their often opaque hiring practices. Our mission is to create a transparent and fair job market that benefits both businesses and job seekers alike.

The days of traditional recruitment agencies—where job seekers are often treated as commodities—are becoming a thing of the past. Enter Kaplunk, an innovative platform that is not just another recruitment agency, but an ethical employment agency that serves as a bridge between businesses and the community.

When we launched Kaplunk, it was a leap into the unknown—a daring experiment that came with its fair share of challenges.
